For the cherry hair bow, I just made some little balls using red ribbon and hot glue. Then I glued them to a short piece of green ribbon. Next I added a green ribbon leaf. To finish it off I added a rhinestone. Check out my bow tutorialshere, here, here, and here.

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me. It is so delicious, and my little lady loves it. I didn't know about the mayo, because I'm not a fan (at all). I have a pretty good detection skills on things that I don't like the taste of. I couldn't taste the mayo at all. Anyway hope you enjoy this recipe. It's super easy.

Ingredients:

1 C. Mashed Bananas (2-3)

1 C. Mayo

3/4 C. White Sugar

2 C. Flour

1/2 tsp. Salt

2 tsp Baking Soda

1-2 C. Chocolate Chips

1-2 C. Butterscotch Chips (I omitted)

Directions:

Mix bananas, mayo, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Add flour 1/2 of a cup at a time, then add chips.

Grease your muffin pan (or use muffin cups) and use an ice cream scooper to scoop mixture into pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. (I cooked the first pan for 20 minutes and they were a touch darker than I'd like, so I only did 18 minutes on the second batch and they turned out perfect. Every stove is different, so I'd watch these. I have a gas oven.)

Be sure you get to the last Confirmation step where you will be asked a simple math question with a numerical response and you need to answer it correctly in order to confirm you are a person asking for this sample (and not a computer program). You should receive your free sample within 4 to 6 weeks.

Due to high traffic they may be experiencing technical problems, so if you get an error please try again! My last page froze so I didn't see a confirmation page. I just re-entered my info and submitted. It told me that I had already entered for the freebie.

Alright, I bit the bullet a few weeks ago and started on Pinterest. Now it's an obsession. I absolutely love it. It's a bookmarking tool that saves all of your "pins" to your boards. You categorize your boards by themes. For example, one of my boards is "Kiddos." Then when I find something I want to try with Elle, I pin it to that board. Easy as pie!
